Landscapes of Milot

Once a wealthy French colony, Haiti is now the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Unemployment stands at 70%, and fewer than half the people over 15 can read. Potable water and access to electric power are a rarity for most citizens. Political and civil strife make progress difficult. And yet, hope among Haiti’s people persists, as does the lush, mountainous landscape, resplendent with natural beauty.

A team of Holy Name Medical Center employees traveled to Milot, Haiti to run new electric and communications cable, and get a pair of generators installed and operational. The team employed and taught a crew of local Haitian workers on the projects.
